provide career opportunities in STEM industries

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., November 24, 2014 -
DeVry University announced today a new partnership with Kelly Services
(NASDAQ: KELYA, KELYB) a leader in providing workforce solutions.
Together, DeVry and Kelly Services will do their part to help close the
skills gap and infuse employment opportunities particularly within the
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) career fields.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment in
occupations related to STEM is projected to grow to more than 9 million
between 2012 and 2022 - an increase of approximately 1 million jobs over
2012 employment levels1.

As part of the agreement, DeVry University will provide higher education
opportunities to Kelly Services employees (full-time and temporary)
throughout the country. With more than 85 locations nationwide and a
robust online learning environment, DeVry University will offer
career-oriented associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs from
its five colleges of study. In return, Kelly Services will work with the
university’s Career Services Department to promote STEM-related
positions to DeVry University and its Keller Graduate School of
Management students and alumni.

Paul, president of DeVry University. “For more than 80 years, we have
prided ourselves on the care and attention we give to our students, to
ensure that they have the knowledge and real-world experiences to
prepare them for career success. Our rigorous curriculum is constantly
evolving, just like the world we live in. Whether it’s within STEM or
another career field, we look forward to helping Kelly Services educate
their workforce for the high demand fields of today and tomorrow.”

“Kelly Services is excited to partner with DeVry Career Services to
bring attention to the vast demand for talent in STEM-related fields,”
said Jocelyn Lincoln, vice president, Americas Recruiting, Kelly
Services. “We are well-positioned to partner with DeVry, as well
students and alumni, to make career connections. As the demand for STEM
talent continues to rise, it’s important that Kelly have partners in
education that are identifying and responding to employment needs.”
